Not sure what to say?

Dear Joan,
How fortunate I was to see Bob and you as well when visiting Woozy's mother, Mary Baker Supplee, at Dunwwody. Her long path came to the end 2/13/12 after 106 !/2 years so I have not seen you all since then.
What a lovely, elegant gentleman whose smile I always looked forward to. With love and prayers for Bob and all of your family,

Barkie Supplee

JOAN YOUNG DREXEL HILL,PA.

The Miller family has such wonderful memories of Bob and the whole Narrigan family from our days in Avalon, NJ. Except for visiting him when he and my dad, Ralph, were at Dunwoody together, my last memory of Bob is seeing him slowly riding his bicycle on Dune Drive in the rain. He was the best at organizing "ball" on the beach and delivering fresh vegetables to all his seashore friends! Somehow I think he is not resting, but he is at peace. Best to Joan, Steve, Julie, Pam and the family.

Ah that smile.... My husband, Bill and I lived in Springbrook ...the small community of homes that Bob created... such fond memories of a tight knit community... I will never forget decorating the pine tree that stood in the middle of the cul de sac at Christmas... it grew bigger and bigger each year and Bob always managed to rig up some contraption that enabled us to get to the tippy top of that tree with lights. Thank you Bob for loving life and for loving your family... I was the hugger...

With deepest condolences, our prayers and thoughts go out to Joan, Julie, Pam and the entire Narrigan family. Rab is in a better place with his lord and probably kayaking or hiking as we speak - the memory of him will always put a smile on our faces and and a selfless, adventurous spirit in our hearts. God bless, The Brenner Family

Although I have not seen Mr. Narrigan for 45 years, my recollections of him (known by my parents and his many friends as Rabbit), are of his glow. In today's terms, one would say he was perpetually "comfortable in his own skin." Even as a child he always greeted me with a welcoming, warm smile from which I began to understand the meaning of sincerity. I also recall as a teenager I always loved his truck and his boots. He understood fitness long before fitness became the prevalent topic it is...
